The Average American Voice.

I am an American, but / am not one
who believes that the American voice is
musical. In fact, the voice of the average
American is not of pleasant quality. Con-
sidePcd nlusically, it is jerky and spas
modic. The language forced upon his
articulation is not of the liquid, smooth
nature that gives the italian his pre-
eminence as q vocalist. The number of
men, and especially women, in this coun-
try who have discorlant voices is such IS
to warrant the belief that there must be a
radical change in some direction to bring
American vocalism to the front rank. It
has been discovered in this city, when q
large number Of voices for choral work
was desired, that there was q great
scarcity Of fine voices among the Ameri-
can population. In great many of our
singers there is plenty Of art and polish,
but-the voice is lacking, and art will not
atone for that.
/ believe that much might be done to
remedy this natural defect by an early
training Of the vocal organs Of children.
True, what is called singing is practiced
in our public schools, but the pupils are
left to sing at random, and fail to learn
the difference between vocal noise and
melody. Nearly every child Of native
origin sings in nasal tones, and the result is
deformity of the voice that grows with
age, and shows both in singing and speak
ing. The ear is trained, but the voice is
neglected. Nothing is more disagreeable
than rasping female voice, and two
thirds of our women speak in g harsh,
nasal tone.-Music Teacher in Globe

the state, troops from Fort
Smelling, a number of Democratic
clubs from the city, state and from North
Dakota and from all civic bodies that
feel inclined to join the procession and
will send their names to the committee
in time to be located. The procession
will form at the corner of Robert and
Sixth streets and march down Sixth past
the Ryan to jackson, down jackson to
Third, up Third to Wabasha, thence to
Seventh street, down Seventh street to
jackson, down jackson to- Sixth, and
back again, where they will disband.

trated on these streets, and will be
greatly augmented. 'e
After the procession reception will be
held at the Ryan, at which the presidents
life will be made burdensome by hand
shaking.

corted by distinguished citizens. The

NEW YORK, Sept 20. The day for the
first of the great international yacht race
broke under unfavorable circumstances.
A heavy, smoky mist, almost fog, hung
over the bay and what little wind there
was scarce sufficed to ripple the water.

VOLUNTEER PASSING THE JUDGES BOAT A
WINNER. - -


came out with the Volunteer a good half
mile ahead of the Thistle, tho Volunteer
booming along at coed rate of speed,
while the Thistle was standing almost
dead still. The reason was that the Vol
unteer had caught the wind like q feather
and the Thistle had caught none of 1t. A
little while later the Thistle caught the
wind and started off at better pace, but
at Los, half an hour after the start, the
Volunteer was fully mile in the lead.
The long lead of the Volunteer was as
cribed to superior seamanship in holding
on to the first tack toward Staten Island
and catching the breeze off shore. After
awhile the Thistle got more
wind and decreased the Vol
unteer's lead, and at 2 o'clock
the Scotch boat was apparently not more
than three-quaTters of mile behind,
while at 2:15 not more than half mile
separated the two, although the Thistle
was q quarter of nile to the leeward.
At $50 the Volunteer was only three
Fights of mile ahead. The wind was
increasing, and the Volunteer at 2:35
rounded the point of the hook and
headed for the Hghtship six minutes
ahead of the Thistle. At 2:43 the Vol
unteer was on the starboard tack, out
side of the hook about mile and a
quarter ahead of the Thistle, the latter
then being near the point of the hook.
The wind was then blowing nine miles
an hour, and the Volunteer slowly in
creasing her lead until 3:45, when she
rounded the Ightship and started home
ward. The Thistle rounded the hghtship
at 4:01. From this point back to the
finishing line the race was practically
walkover for the Volunteer, and as she
passed the dock she was greeted with
deafening cheers from the crowds lining
the shore, and a similar reception was ac
corded to her from the thousands of ex-
cursionists on the pleasure boats. At
buoy 10 the Thistle was sixteen minutes
behind the Volunteer with the wind
blowing twelve miles an hour.
The Volunteer presented magnificent
spectacle as she came booming up the
bay with the triumphal procession of
boats behind her, each flying every shred
of bunting that could be had. The
Thistle crossed the line with all sails set

spit, thence around the buoys at that
point to buoy s, off Sandy Hook, which
the yachts must pass on the outside. The
outer mark was Sandy Hook hght-ship,
from which the yachts returned over the
same course, finishing at buoy Is, under
the bluff off Fl. Wadsworth.
When it was still nearly an hour
before the starting time the upper
bay was a floating city, The water all
around the flagship Electra was filed up
and everywhere bands played and
whistles blew. For two hours or more
the great feet lay in the bay waiting for
wind. The slight breeze had died out,
and the chances were that there would be
no race. AS noon approached, however,
a gentle breeze sprang up. At Has the
Thistle began to stand in toward Bay
Ridge, and the Volunteers sails partly
filed. Shortly after 12 o'clock the Elec-
ira blew her whistle and the starting line
was cleared. Before the preparatory
starting guns were fired the Thistle sailed
past the Electra with all sails set except
the balloon jib and spinuaker. The Vol
unteer cruised about in small space, and
both yachts created great sensation.
The fog by 1915 had nearly disappeared,
and the southerly breeze grew stronger.
The preparatory starting gun was fired
at 1920. The starting gun was fired at
1870, and both boats almost Immediately
headed for the line. Both carried main
sail, club topsail and three jibs. The
Thistle was slightly in the lead, but there
was not more than 200 feet between
the boats. The official starting time
was: Thistle, 12:33.06; Volunteer,
1884. ISL. Both yachts crossed the line
on the port tack. The moment they
were off the great fleet Of pleasure boats
started after them, followed later by the
Electra, which soon overhauled the crowd.
Then happened one Of the most remark
able things ever seen in a yacht race in
this harbor. The two yachts went into
the Narrows with the Thistle several
hundred feet ahead of the Volunteer and
